Chapter 48 Big Event

Yu Xinghe left.

"There's murderous intent in your eyes..."

The man in black noticed this very keenly.

Duan Yihe shook his head: "No... I won't kill him, but he will have to pay the price."

"Don't wait any longer, ship it out immediately. This time, I'll be with you."

Duan Yihe looked at the man in black and said.

Why the rush?

The man in black was puzzled.

"What I just told Yu Xinghe was all a lie."

Duan Yihe said coldly, "Hui Jiu has fallen into Qu Dayou's hands. Even if we find Cai Qinghan, we can't rescue him. Those two are mortal enemies."

"Moreover... Hui Jiu knows too much, and Qu Dayou was a well-known interrogation expert in the Black Armor Guard... If Qu Dayou interrogates Hui Jiu, there's a 90% chance our secrets will be exposed."

Duan Yihe said, "Once exposed, not only will this shipment be lost, but all the resources I've accumulated over the years will also be rendered meaningless."

"The Black Armor Guards haven't made a move yet, probably because they haven't interrogated them enough. We need to take this opportunity to move quickly."

Duan Yihe's tone was very firm.

"So, you're going to give up on this place?"

The man in black realized that this unexpected situation might cause them to lose this stable source of resources.

"There's no other way. If we don't leave now, we might all die."

Duan Yihe said, "Don't feel sorry for me. If we're talking about regret, the one who's suffering the most is me."

Duan Yihe's tone was filled with heartache. This was the culmination of more than twenty years of his hard work, and to give it up like this was truly difficult.

"Taking this opportunity, I'll join your Seven Lines Sect directly." Duan Yihe had already made his plan. "Don't think I'm useless. After all, I'm a martial artist at the fifth level of the Mortal Realm, and I have accumulated a lot of resources. Joining you won't be a loss for you at all."

The man in black listened, considered for a moment, and then said, "Alright."

"But..." the man in black added, "what if the worst doesn't happen, and Gray Nine doesn't fall into Qu Dayou's hands?"

"That's easy."

Duan Yihe felt the probability was low, but still replied, "If our secret hasn't been exposed, the Black Armor Guards definitely won't do anything. After we deliver the goods to you, we'll observe the situation. If everything is fine, we'll come back."

"If anything happens... then we can only ask Yu Xinghe to apologize on our behalf."

Duan Yihe's tone was stern.

"In that case, let's ship the goods."

The man in black didn't waste any time and got up immediately.

"I'll arrange it myself."

Duan Yihe walked out the door.

……

at this time.

The prison cells in Camp 3.

Hui Jiu, who had been captured by Xu Ning earlier, was now covered in blood and chained to a wooden stake.

His face was pale, and his eyes were filled with fear.

In front of Hui Jiu sat Qu Dayou at a wooden table.

At this moment, Qu Dayou was in a state of extreme shock.

Just now, he extracted a major information from Hui Jiu.

The Dayuan Trading Company in Kangyun County is actually colluding with the Seven Lines of the Demonic Sect!

They would deliver weapons, medicine, silver and other resources to the Seven Lines Gate at fixed times, and they would also gather information from the Black Armor Guards to help the Seven Lines Gate evade their pursuit.

"That Xu Ning guy has actually dug up a huge mess!"

Qu Dayou never expected that simply stalking Xu Ning would lead to the Demonic Sect.

Originally, Qu Dayou and others only found some illegal activities such as Cai Qinghan accepting money and resources from Dayuan Trading Company and helping Dayuan Trading Company cover up illegal activities such as violently and cheaply purchasing goods from merchants.

Although these violations are egregious, at most they put pressure on them, forcing them to back down and make some compromises.

But now that it involves collusion with the Demonic Sect, the situation has escalated rapidly.

Even if Wei Changqing didn't want to get involved, he was forced to participate.

"I need to find Commander Wei first!"

Qu Dayou quickly realized what was happening.

Two hours have passed since Hui Jiu fell into my hands, and the person behind Hui Jiu must already know about this.

If the other party isn't a fool, they would have already taken action by now. The mastermind behind it all may have already escaped Kangyun County during this time.

"Someone come here!"

As Qu Dayou walked out, he called to his deputy, "Gather everyone in the camp and have them seal off all shops related to Dayuan Trading Company."

"yes!"

The deputy accepted the order.

Just as he was about to leave, Qu Dayou called out to his deputy, "Wait, don't call them anymore. Go directly to Commandant Xia and have the Second Camp handle this!"

This matter is of great importance, and Qu Dayou felt that these newcomers lacked experience.

"yes!"

The deputy left.

Qu Dayou also immediately mounted his horse and went to find Wei Changqing.

Night was high in the sky.

The once peaceful Kangyun County began to stir with undercurrents because of what Hui Jiu said.

That night, Kangyuan County was directly sealed off, isolating the area from the outside world.

Five teams of Black Armor Guards went directly out of the city, each pursuing Duan Yihe and the Seventh Gate personnel in different directions.

At the same time, all the shops of Dayuan Trading Company were surrounded, and all the people working for Dayuan Trading Company were arrested overnight.

In Fengliu Lane Guard Station, besides Xu Ning, Chen Ren, Pan Du, Zhuang Dingshi, and others were also restricted in their freedom.

Cai Qinghan, the captain of the First Camp, was also taken into custody...

……

The next day.

Xu Ning only learned about what happened last night after she woke up.

Although Xu Ning was the originator of this incident, he was not involved in its subsequent developments at all.

After learning about the follow-up developments of the surveillance incident, Xu Ning skipped breakfast and went straight to the Weiyi Post Station in Fengliu Lane.

Unlike usual, Fengliu Lane, which is usually bustling with people in the morning, was almost deserted.

On the street where the Dayuan Trading Company's shops are located, there are city guards standing guard almost every few steps.

There were also some unfamiliar black-armored guards searching back and forth in the shops of the Dayuan Trading Company.

Xu Ning didn't recognize any of these black-armored guards; they were clearly from somewhere else.

Xu Ning entered the garrison post station in Fengliu Lane.

At this time, there was no one at the post station, not even the city guards who usually stood at the gate.

"This has actually led to something this big..."

Xu Ning sat at his desk, rubbing his temples.

After joining the Black Armor Guard, Xu Ning also learned how determined the Origin Sect was to completely eradicate the Demonic Sect.

The Black Armor Guards of Kangyun County conduct investigations into the whereabouts of the Demonic Sect in the vicinity almost every month.

However, the Black Armor Guards of the Third Camp are all new recruits; they will participate in these missions next year.

"I really have to thank Commander Qu; when he announced this news this morning, he omitted me from it..."

When Xu Ning saw the announcement in the morning, she did not find her name on it.

The origin of the matter was omitted in the public announcement released by Qu Dayou.

This way, you won't be exposed, which can be considered a certain degree of protection.

"grown ups!"

At that moment, Feng Sigua's voice came from outside the study.

This time, Feng Sigua seemed to be in a hurry. He didn't knock and just pushed the door open and came in.

Seeing Xu Ning sitting at the desk, Feng Sigua breathed a sigh of relief.

"grown ups!"

Feng Sigua quickly stepped forward: "I was sleeping at home last night when some unknown black-armored guards dragged me out of bed."

"It wasn't just me; other city guards who were on duty at the Fengliu Lane post station were also gathered together and interrogated overnight. After repeated interrogations, I and some of my comrades were released, but some others are still being held in the cells of the Second Camp..."

Feng Sigua's tone still carried a hint of lingering fear.

Xu Ning listened and nodded silently.

This involves the Demonic Sect, so the scale of this operation is quite impressive.

"Sir, I also heard that Captain Chen and his men have been investigated... You weren't involved, were you?"

Feng Sigua wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"If I were truly involved, would I still be sitting here?"

Xu Ning smiled.

If Feng Sigua knew that the investigation into Chen Ren and the others originated from him, he definitely wouldn't have asked that question.
